13 Remove all power supplies from each module that you intend to remove. For details, see Adding, Removing, and
Replacing Power Supplies.
14 Remove all tape drives from each module that you intend to remove. If you are going to replace the module, label the
drives with their locations so you can re-install them in the same locations later. For details, see
Adding, Removing,
and Replacing Tape Drives.
15 If the module you are removing or replacing contains FC I/O blades, remove both the I/O blades and the
accompanying fan blades from the 9U Library Expansion Module. For details, see
Adding, Removing, and Replacing FC
I/O Blades and Adding, Removing, and Replacing the FC I/O Fan Blade.
16 Before removing a module, you must first remove all 9U Library Expansion Modules (if any) positioned above it.
Disconnect all power cords, network data cables, and module-to-module cables from the module you are removing or
replacing and all modules located above it. Then remove the modules.
Warning: Without tape drives, tape cartridges, or power supplies, a 5U Library Control Module
weighs approximately 60 lbs (27.2 kg). A 9U Library Expansion Module, without tape drives, tape
cartridges, or power supplies, exceeds 65 lbs (29.5 kg).
To avoid serious injury, at least two people are required to safely lift the modules.
Note: If the library is installed in a rack, you need to perform additional steps to remove modules from and
place modules into the rack. See Installing the Library in a Rack for more information.
